Del Piero: The Scudetto charged
me up

For some it is already time
to think about the holidays. With the championship over and no playoffs,
plenty of Serie A player's are already on vacation. Definitely there aren't
any Juventus players, especially those part of their National Teams. There
still is the Coppa Italia final to play and win to do a fantastic double,
five days after winning the Scudetto.
Before leaving for the Far
East and play for the world title. Already focused on these two titles
is Alessandro Del Piero. The Juve captain, a few hours after the triumph
in Udine, doesn't seem tired, at all: "Winning the title charged me up
and I believe my teammates too. The desire to win again will be with us,
with Juventus and the National Team".
So, the National Team. Now
argument of the day after Giovanni Trapattoni made public the list of players
for the tournament. Especially the fact that Roberto Baggio didn't make
it. Del Piero, thinks this: "You can't put in doubt his qualities. But
this is Trapattoni's decision and we must respect it and move on. Plenty
of other good player's, like Tacchinardi and Ambrosini, would have deserved
to be called. Unfortunately the number of players is fixed and I think
that Trapattoni was sorry to leave behind so many good players".
Amongst the footballers that
will be joining the group, for Del Piero's joy, is Angelo Di Livio: "It's
a great joy. Angelo has been a friend for the last ten years. We are always
joking together, and I think that it's important as we will be so much
under pressure".
